The DOI error report passes along complaints from users about DOIs members may have published or distributed but not yet registered with Crossref.
When a user clicks on a DOI that has not been registered they are sent to a form on doi.org that collects the DOI, the user’s email address, and any comments the user wants to share. Crossref pass those reports and comments along nightly to the technical contact that each of member’s designates on their account, the person(s) responsible for the DOI prefix.
Some DOIs reported by end users are the result of user error (e.g., the end user has included a typo in their DOI link), so if you, as the Crossref technical contact, have established that the reported DOI is not a legitimate DOI you’ve published, no action is needed.
